Romans & histoires I Will Quit The Empress

"Mother... he didn't marry her." Her mother looked at the screen and then back at Zara. "Then the battle for the empire has truly begun, my daughter. If he is free, then Falcon Enterprises is the next move." Zara stood up, the tears from the roadside bench completely dry. She wasn't just a girl in a flat anymore. She was the Queen, and her King had just burned his world down to find his way back to hers.

I ask, pulling away to look into his blue eyes full. “We train Bells. We will start with controlling your emotions. From there, we get your mother to finally hire the Tutors you need to be a strong Queen.” Liam insists, tucking my head under his chin. He is right. For years, I have pushed my mother’s advice aside as I never thought I would need Tutors. But if I want to be a strong Queen, one without a mate, then I will need her help. My sobs slowly become sniffles as I breathe in Liam’s scent mixed with the scent of the cabin, a sort of calm numbness coming over me. The only way I can think of to control my emotions is to lock them away, to feel nothing. Feeling nothing will hurt less, will

she mumbled, pressing her lips tightly. "Now your brain is functioning correctly, right?" he chuckled. "Sorry?" she furrowed her brows in confusion. He laughed, "Now, you know I'm the CEO of Empire World." She rolled her eyes, "Huh..." Emily removed the phone from her ear and glared at it as if it were Joel himself. One moment he treated her kindly, and the next he insulted her. She pouted and put the phone back to her ear. "I'm hanging up now. Good night." She ended the call.

It was killing me on the inside, but I didn’t dare do or say anything out of turn. “Emperor, you heard him. Nothing inappropriate happened. It’s all just a big misunderstanding…” the empress quickly cut in. “Empress, are you implying that General Shin and I both misunderstood the situation that we witnessed?” It was Ren’s cold voice that shut the empress up this time. I guess this is what happens when you speak out of turn. Ren was clearly not going to let the Empress step in and disturb the process of justice. “Please refrain from speaking out of turn,” the emperor said coldly, and the empress apologized immediately.

she said. Sophia’s jaw tightened. “Someone who wants you afraid.” Elara could think of men worse than afraid. She could think of men who used fear like a leash. She put the card in her pocket. “We change our plan,” she said. “No more shifts. We leave tonight.” Hours later the man in the suit came back. He sat at a table near the window and watched people like a surveyor. He did not smile. He read a paper, folded it, read it again. He had a calm that made the air cold.

Isolde gulped, her face contorting with shame, and slowly sank to her knees. She met my eyes, and I felt the heat of her hatred radiating toward me. She looked once more at Kaelan, whose gaze dared her to challenge him. As she crouched and brought her mouth closer to the floor, the Empress sprang up again. "Your Majesty, please, stop this! This is madness!" Kaelan chuckled darkly. "Have I ever acted sane to you? Let your daughter refuse my order. Then you'll see how truly insane I can be."

"Official Chu, pay her no mind. I am emporer, why would I require the might of Chu? There are the Wangs and the Qi and the any number of families who will volunteer to complete unpleasant tasks if they are designed here. The Chu family has contributed faiithfully to the crown for generations, although you have always refused to marry into the imperial family. It's a simple matter here. I am just irate enough to let it happen where there are many who will be able to listen and hear. The name Yu should never be spoken again with the name of the emporer. It is so tiring to have such a useless empress. There will be many ways she tries to change the story away from herself." "This is emp

Yusria swallowed and straightened her posture, her violet eyes exuding determination as she stared straight into the Emperor's sapphire orbs. "However, as a living being, I have my own values and principles. One of those values is that I will not snatch another woman's man and neither will I share my man with another woman. Unfortunately, Your Majesty, not only are you another woman's man, but you are also planning to accept the said woman as your second wife. Such a grievance, my fragile heart won't be able to handle it. As such, I am sorry, but I can't be your Empress. You are not my ideal husband."

I know. Empresses do not abandon their own banquets. The thought makes me laugh softly, a gentle sound breaking the tranquil silence. Could you imagine? What chaos that would bring? If I were to decide to just up and walk out? An Empress does not disappear into the dark, no matter how much they might want to dissolve into the stillness. I can entertain the thought, but only that. These are childish fantasies. I have too much at stake for that. I know this.

If a man wanted to, he could stand up and fight back, he would have a chance, but most women wouldn't. So instead I find their weaknesses and exploit them. Smiling at the next name I go to the club. Walking in I watch as everyone stays quiet. I see Evan look towards the fire exit, moving I rush to block it, grabbing him I throw him back. "What do you know?" "Well, the princess won't be ruling the city for long, that is for sure." He laughs, moving I punch him. "Who took her?" "You kill me you will never know." He smiles smugly. "I was expecting your visit, after standing right there watching them talk and listening, I couldn't wait to watch her empire fall down."
